Crofton Academy, part of Castleford Academy Trust, is an 11-16 mixed comprehensive of over 1,000 pupils offering a broad and balanced curriculum. Our expectations are high and this is reflected in our very successful academic record. The Academy was inspected in July 2023 and was awarded ‘Good’ in all categories and inspectors praised the Academy for its significant transformation. The inspection commended the Academy’s improvements in pupil behaviour, the wide range of clubs and societies available, its well-structured approaches to teaching, and the high-quality professional development that staff receive.

We value and develop our staff by attracting and retaining high quality teachers, supporting them to achieve their best and create opportunities for professional growth and development. The leadership and staff are incredibly proud of the Academy’s achievements and we welcome you to visit our school for a tour to see us in action.
